I don't know if this qualifies as art, but it is something I made, so I will post it.
Hope the links work. If not let me know.

Critiques welcomed & encouraged.

    How did you make them, exactly?

    They're brilliant!

    Thanks for the reply. I love your avatar pic by the way :)

    It would make a great background for the Buddha Graffiti if the writing wouldn't cover the face. But it might look cool as the hole in one of the letters.

    I do the line work in Autocad and colour them in Photoshop. Still new at Photoshop but a 15 year veteran of Autocad.

    I am open to suggestions but don't know when I would actually do any, I just do this as the mood strikes me.
    My brains is working feverishly trying to think of a way to use your avatar concept in something [ Is that single point focus? :) ], along with maybe the sanskrit or kanji version of Om Mani Padme Hum.

    Thanks again for the compliment :)

    Your comin along. You really want the letters to connect. I have been a AutoCad drafter and graffiti writer for years. Maybe we know each other? Im not sure where your at in Va.

    I live in Lake Ridge in Prince William County. I don't think I know many other AutoCad drafters but you never know.

    I just started getting into graffiti writing (as you can tell, it is pretty derivative from stuff I see online). I do it in my spare time and wouldn't mind getting better at it, but I am trying to focus on finding a job where I work more than 12 hours a week.

    I will PM you with my facebook name and you can look me up there. I probably wouldn't mind posting my FB publicly here, but my kids are listed and they may not like it.

    What inspired me to do Buddhism based graffiti was that pic. I saw it and loved it.
    I had originally posted my stuff in that thread but felt I should peddle my own wares elsewhere :)
